SAINT JOHN, N.B. (CP) - A collage of personal
photos offered a glimpse of David Greenslade's
youth to hundreds of mourners who gathered
Thursday for the young soldier's funeral.

Greenslade, one of six Canadian soldiers killed
by a roadside bomb last week in Afghanistan, was
only 2O when he died. Inside the Main Street
Baptist Church in Saint John, the pictures
showed a handsome, young man smiling with his
prom date, and canoeing and swimming with
friends.

Greenslade's funeral was the third of eight
services to be held this week for fallen
soldiers from Atlantic Canada and Ontario.

The Canadian military's sad duty of burying
victims from the worst week of attacks on
Canadians in Afghanistan was to continue
Thursday in St. Mary's, N.L., where Pte. Kevin
Kennedy was to be buried.

Originally from St. Lawrence in eastern
Newfoundland, Kennedy was with Greenslade and
four other members of Hotel company when their
military vehicle hit an explosive device west of
Kandahar on Easter Sunday.
